If you really are superior in intellect, then why don’t you back down once in a while and admit that you’re not as smart as you think you are.


In religious circles we hear a lot about sin and sinners. But it is not that one is a sinner which attracts Christ, but a sinner who wants to be made whole.


G.K. Chesterton said, “How much larger your life would be if you could become smaller in it.”

Home should be the place we go for strength when the world has made us weak.


Remember that ashes were once coal and wood that kept you warm and cooked your supper.


Many think when they get a divorce from their spouse they gain freedom. What they may have just done, however, is to get a divorce from themselves.


Isn’t it enriching to realize that when the darkness vanishes, our fear vanishes with it? That is because we now bask in the light.


We need to learn to count our blessings instead of our troubles.


The law of increase states that in order to get more, give more. And in order to do that you have to be more.


If you want to see more, then look beyond appearances.


The trouble with religious people is that they work so hard to get to heaven when they are charged to make one.


Life is not easy. And he who attempts to make it so, rather than learn from its difficulties, just makes it harder.


Do you want to know how to change others? Change yourself. But what if they don’t change? That’s not for you to determine. Your task is to change you.


A lifetime of learning has taught me what an insightful man said two thousand years ago: “Whatever a man sows that will he also reap.”


When you retire, remember you are retiring from your job, not from life, for when you retire and expect life to level off you will just encounter new challenges.


We tend to expect so much from others and so little from ourselves. Or we demand too much of ourselves and too little from others.

I just read your last three entries. There are some great thoughts there, more than I even know where to begin to comment on. But I enjoy reading them and shaking my head in agreement as I read. Keep them coming. And great pictures.
